Kérastase Bain Satin 2 & Lait Vital

Kérastase opens a new path and invents long-lasting Nutrition. Since its founding, Kérastase has never ceased to explore the ideals of beauty, the perfect conditions for perfect hair.In 1979 Kérastase began educating women about the fact that their hair had to be nourished. That is how the Nutritive range was born. Since then, our ideas of nutrition have changed greatly and so has Kérastase!

New nutrients appeared on the scene, some forgotten and others rediscovered. Evolving attitudes toward nutrition, as well as toward cosmetics, reflect transformations in society. Such transformations can only be understood in light of the technological, sociological and cultural factors that have made their mark on women and their dreams for change.Today, in 2013, nutrition is no longer simply about a combination of lipids, glucids and amino acids that meet purely functional needs. Developments in the field of nutrition are now much more dynamic. The “yo-yo” effect has come under scrutiny.

A new vision is necessary:prodigious nutritional qualities, immediate benefits and the dream of long-lastingness. This unprecedented new vision inspired new-generation Nutritive Irisome, exceptional nutrition extracted from the precious, perennial rhizome of the Iris.

THE OXIDATION OF THE HAIR IS A MAJOR CAUSE OF HAIR NUTRITION LOSSJust like the skin, hair is over-exposed to major oxidative stress. Light rays provoke active molecules that oxidize the biological molecules which make up the hair (lipids, proteins and keratin).The dryer the skin is, the more vulnerable it is. The dryer the hair is, the more fragile it is…Added to this are the aggressions the hair undergoes every day. Pollution, brushing, combing,blow-drying, haircoloring, so many adversaries coming from all sides and fewer defenses…As it is not equipped with the same arsenal of defenses as the skin (vitamins, enzymes, minerals), the hair’s entire foundation weakens. Dry hair can manage to “hold the fort” for a while, but then it simply gives up and surrenders.

- The lipids on the surface of the hair and in the inter-cellular cement start to erode. At that point,we can see the scales alter and separate from the shaft. Dry hair becomes weaker, more lifeless and porous.- The amino acids that make up the proteins in the hair (including cystines and cysteins) become easy targets.They stretch, break, weaken and sometimes expose the cortex.Tired of fighting, the fiber begins to dry out. The hair becomes duller and feels coarser, so it loses its ability to reflect light.There is no use in trying to “nourish” the surface of dry hair if the foundation itself is so weak that the drying out process will inevitably re-occur.IN DAMAGING THE AMINO ACIDS THAT MAKE UP THE PROTEINS IN THE HAIR OXIDATIVE AGGRESSION CAUSES THE HAIR TO BECOME FRAGILE AND DRY With Kérastase Nutritive Irisome, the return to dryness of dry hair is a thing of the past.
